September Meeting

We got a great start to our new MOPS year with our September meeting. There was lots of great food to enjoy and many new friends were made. We learned a lot about our steering committee through their great giveaways of their favorite items. Although caffeine products were pretty popular (e.g. chocolate, soda, coffee), by far the most popular favorite items among our moms seem to be centered around cleaning - whether it be Sally's soap, Cindy's toilet bowl cleaner, or any of the other many items given away obviously life here on Planet Mom requires a lot of work! We got to know many new members in our discussion groups and later enjoyed making some nice tote bags. Meanwhile our children had lots of fun as well in MOPPETS playing together, singing, hearing stories, etc. As usual, time flies when you are having fun and all too soon it was time to blast off again on our incredible journey here on Planet Mom!

A New Year, A New Blog!

It's that time of year again, the time when kids go back to school, temperatures begin to fall, and we excitedly start planning for the holidays. It's also time for MOPS to start back up again!

We are looking forward to another great year in MOPS. Whether you are new to MOPS or coming back for another year, you are sure to enjoy the fun and fellowship that make MOPS such an uplifting experience. We look forward to welcoming many new members to our MOPS family this year. We hope you all not only enjoy yourself and make new friends but also that you are able to feel refreshed by the experience of meeting with other moms together here on "Planet Mom" as we journey through the challenges of raising our little ones. More importantly, we hope you feel revived through the love of Jesus Christ and gain strength and encouragement to make it through the often stressful and tiring days of motherhood.

With this new year comes a new blog. We hope to make the blog interesting and informative, and we welcome any ideas you may have. In addition to updating it after MOPS meetings and playdates, we hope to include other fun things as well, e.g. favorite recipes, craft ideas, uplifting scripture/devotionals, etc. If you have anything you'd like to share with the group, please feel free to let us know. We'll give more details on how to contact us at the first meeting which will be held on Thursday, September 10. Childcare sign-in will begin at 9:00am.

We look forward to seeing you soon!!!
